Sure you can.Boot from a rescue CD, or better yet, a Debian or Ubuntu live CD, and use parted or one of it's GUI frontends to reconfigure your hard disk layout to your liking.
Alternatively, e2resize is available but requires you to manually update your partition table, which can lead to data loss and corruption if you don't do it correctly.
(g)parted on a live CD is your best option. Regards, Andrew Barr
